Open next book in series

embryo · 09-13-2022, 05:57 AM

I vaguely remember a dialog that opened when finishing a book that have you some options, and one of them was to open the next file in the directory.
It's very nicely replaced by the book info dialog now, but I was wondering if the mentioned action is still available somewhere in the menus of koreader (getting lazier by the day ;o).

Nope, but it's handled by `ReaderStatus:openNextFile` (which takes the current document path, e.g., Document.file as input), so it should be fairly easy to plug into wherever.

If you chose at the menu

Settings - Document - End of document action - and select: „Ask with popup dialog“

you will get the dialog when finishing a book and with „Open next file“ you get the next book of the series from the current reading book.
My books are sorted by authors name and titles and it works fine.
